so, that oak was already an old tree when columbus arrived in 1492...
wow!
back in the day, before g p s, did we not all mis our destination from time to time?
( and with g p s, do we not still not?)
I hope it left some acorns.
Who knows where Major Oak's descendents are?
There were several oak trees planted in my town from the time of the first settlers primary school grounds, but that was only about 150 years ago. Now they are huge. I hope they are protected, as heard the native forest planted in the middle of the school is threatened to be bulldozed because it's in the way of the classrooms and they can't get in to do the building maintenance.
They'd cut down several other trees and one of the gardeners I was helping had to poison the trunks of some of them so they wouldn't grow back.
The children love playing in the forest and of course they love to climb the trees. So I dunno what would you rather have, buildings or trees? It seems we can't have both.

Hopefully this News thread won't turn into another 'make this all about abortion in the US' threads.
God help us.
God help us.

And even during Leif Erikson, who discovered America in 1000 AD.
This one's not as old, but it's so old it has to use crutches

Those are not the oldest trees! The Redwoods are 2-3000 yrs old.This one's not as old, but it's so old it has to use crutches
Our one in New Zealand is a Kauri tree called Tane Mahuta
About 1250 -2500 years old (estimate)

They didn't award personhood rights to Old Oak so, no worries.
Now to be clear, a tree IS a living thing/object, per scientific classification. Except for this one cause, yknow, it died.
I don't appreciate that at all @Lanolin. I was making a very important point in that thread about abortion. Abortion is a sin against God. Making a mountain have person-hood, with all the rights of a human being is wrong, especially when babies are being slaughtered every day. We have aborted the entire population of Canada. Every abortion kills an innocent child. A tree is not a human being, nor should it be treated as one. Abortion is a very serious topic, it's not funny in the least.
@ThereRoseaLamb
A tree, is a tree, a mountain is a mountain, a rose is a rose...
And a baby is a baby.
If you have aborted the entire population of Canada, you only have yourself to blame. Apologise to the Canadians. Seriously. Are you shading on them too?
I don't appreciate you shading on MY country.
